The Consortium was a Traitor Legion Warband based on Crone World Urum. A second facility was planned on Belial IV.[2b]


Overview

The Consortium is a warband of affiliated Chaos Space Marine Apothecaries from various Legions under the command of Fabius Bile. Formed in the aftermath of the shattering of the Emperor's Children on Harmony, the only thing that unites members of the Consortium is an interest in fleshcrafting and scientific pursuit; members enjoy a great deal of autonomy, and Bile encourages individual ambition so long as it poses no risk to his goals. Internecine conflict is common and even encouraged to a degree, and members of the Consortium will raid and even murder each other when Bile is absent.[1]

At its zenith the Consortium numbered over 200, but departures and internal unrest reduced its numbers.[5e] Following its participation in The Shattering, the Consortium absorbed the remains of the 12th Millennial, which operated as a semi-subservient sister warband during the journey to Solemnace and afterwards.[4a] During Bile's sojourn in Commorragh, a civil war broke out that forced the facilities on Urum to be abandoned.[5a] Later, following the defeat on Peleus-Tertius, the majority of the remaining Consortium members ransacked the facilities on Belial IV and went their separate ways, with only a loyal few remaining at Bile's side. While Bile had originally allowed internal conflict as per his 'survival of the fittest' ethos, he later came to regret allowing so much of what he had built to fall apart due through neglect.[5e]
